Release Bearing Hyd. 44mm Radius Face

The TILTON Release Bearing Hyd. 44mm Radius Face (Part No. 60-1200) is a hydraulic throwout bearing engineered for high-performance clutch systems in motorsport and heavy-duty applications. This precision component is designed specifically for TILTON's 5.5-inch to 7.5-inch clutches and serves as the critical interface between hydraulic actuation and clutch disengagement, delivering reliable, repeatable throw-out action under sustained competition and off-road conditions.

The 44mm radius face design provides optimal contact with the clutch pressure plate fingers, minimizing edge loading and wear while ensuring consistent engagement characteristics across repeated cycles. With a 1.870-inch overall length, this bearing integrates seamlessly into TILTON hydraulic clutch architectures without modification to existing bellhousing geometry. The sealed bearing assembly protects internal races from contamination and moisture ingress—a critical factor for longevity in wet, high-vibration environments typical of rally, off-road racing, and marine applications. Compact dimensions (5.75 x 4 x 5.75 inches) and lightweight construction (1 lb) make it suitable for weight-sensitive builds without sacrificing durability.

This bearing is the preferred choice for enthusiasts upgrading to hydraulic clutch systems who demand precision engineering and proven reliability. It's equally suited to race teams managing clutch wear in endurance events and off-road competitors who require consistent pedal feel and fail-safe actuation. Replacement is straightforward on existing TILTON hydraulic systems, and this bearing maintains OEM fitment standards for platform-specific applications using TILTON 1200 Series components.

Hydraulic throwout bearings represent a significant upgrade over mechanical cable-operated designs, offering lighter pedal effort, reduced driver fatigue on long courses, and improved clutch modulation—advantages that compound during multi-hour competition events. TILTON's 1200 Series is recognized throughout motorsport for consistent performance and compatibility with both street and competition vehicles.
